This recipe was given to me by one of my upholstery friends, Sarah,who says " This is seriously good and so easy.Enjoy" With Christmas approaching and Australia experiencing very hot weather I thought you guys might like it.Please remember if you are going to serve it for Christmas you need to start the process 7-8 days ahead.

Juniper Berries are used to flavour gin ;)
-
Will be definitely trying this, it sounds wonderful.
Uni, let me know if you can't find the allspice /juniper berries we get them here at the IGA store. I don't know about the other supermarkets though.
Thanks for posting CC ;D

Mrs Beeton (http://www.mrsbeeton.com/), a very well knows name even here in Australia CC. I wonder how many members have her famous book mentioned in that article.
Is the silverside in this recipe actually corned silverside? I have never roasted corned silverside but it does sound very flavoursome.

Judy, I think it would be raw, unpicked silverside. This is very much a pickling recipe with less salt. It is very similar to the special pickle my dad used in his butcher shop. The silverside is often sold in the Supermarket with the roast beef. I don't buy it for roasting as we find it too dry. However it is popular as it has very little fat through the meat. It would be perfect for this recipe.
Thanks CC, I look forward to making this.

If its mrs Beetons, it would be delicious ;)

I've got her book JD, very useful when royal visitors drop in, has a section on how to address royalty, where to place them at table etc!
Unfortunately still waiting for my special visitors 😔

;D ;D Good idea Hally. Do you use any of the ideas from it deedub?
-
Chookie answer is spot on Judy.It's raw meat ;)
-
It's a teeny bit like German Sauerbraten I will certainly try it.
-
Thanks Chookie & CC for the clarification. The word silverside confuses me.

Ok, will get his robe & crown ready, lol

It's a very small piece of beef.
My silverside joints in the freezer are much bigger.
Good well hung silverside of beef can be roasted, and cheaper less hung versions are usually pot roasted.
I like the sound of this one, but will have to cook longer.
I think it is a sort of corned beef variation but without the salt petre or current equivalent.
-
I bought my piece of beef today and will start the process tomorrow. Looking forward to trying it

Hmmm difficult decision :-\ I would probably cut it half.Double the spice mixture to marinade the two pieces of beef.Then cook the beef pieces for 27 minutes.What do you think of that?
-
Thats sounds good CC, will get it underway today. Thanks

This is my piece of Spiced Beef after five days in the marinade.I'll be cooking it later.

I bet it smells lovely CC.

Browned the beef as per recipe then cooked the beef in the oven for 36 mins as it weighed 600g.Now letting it cool then I'll wrap it ;D

Loved this, I ended up cutting into two pieces and doing one. Wished now I had done both pieces and will definitely make again. Thanks CC for sharing the recipe.
